The CREATE program will provide financial support to high calibre scholars who are pursuing research projects in the areas of water, energy, and sustainable environment, and that are cross disciplinary. At the end of their training, participants are highly-qualified personnel, or leaders of the future, who will forge new paths to solving environmental problems that can be tackled only through an interdisciplinary approach.
